tell him you didnt want to get him a watch, tie, calculator cuz you know he will eventually end up not using it/ ware it out.
give him somthing that doesnt grow old : memories.
take him someplace he'll remember..
he likes basket ball/ hockey, take him to a game.
if hes been stressed out : take him someplace relaxing // harisson
i cant tell you what to get since i dont know him...when my ex bought me car parts, i almost cried i was so happy. lol.. its the fact that she knew what i wanted/liked that made me remember how awsome it was .
i mean if you buy him a LV wallet and he hates fashion, it aint gonna mean shit to him .
good luck!
